I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing hugged the tree and looked down tremblingly, and found that the humanoid creature didn't look big, because it seemed to be smaller than him because it was on all fours.

And after the humanoid creature grinned at him for a long time, it stared at him vigilantly while raising its hand and quickly pushed the bamboo basket away.

After the bamboo basket fell down, the contents inside spilled out, and Luo Shixing watched helplessly as the other party took part of it in his mouth and turned his head into the bushes.

After entering the bushes, Luo Shixing could no longer see him, but he could tell where the man ran to by following the trembling traces of the bushes.

After making sure that the other party ran away and didn't come back for a long time, Luo Shixing slowly climbed down the tree, and then threw the contents of the bamboo basket into the water, and the bamboo basket didn't plan to take any more.

He didn't know what was going on with the other party, was he a savage?

In later generations, it is often said that there are savages in some deep mountains and old forests. It is generally believed that savages are closer to humans than orangutans, but there are no fully evolved apes.

It's just that no matter how fierce the rumors are, it seems that no one has actually seen a savage, and that thing has almost become an urban legend.

Luo Shixing never thought that he would see such a strange existence in the woods, he carried the bucket and ran back almost as fast as he could.

Cheng Jingwei was digging the cellar when he returned.

The firing of bricks also takes time, and he doesn't need to make new ones until the firing is complete. It just so happens that he just kicked Luo Shixing out, and he took over the other party's digging business by the way.

Although Cheng Jingwei was underground, he also heard Luo Shixing's footsteps. Luo Shixing, who was carrying a bucket, couldn't walk lightly if he wanted to, let alone there was no need for that.

It's just that he quickly noticed that Luo Shixing's footsteps were a little hurried, which was not his usual behavior, even if he found something new, he would only walk a little faster.

Cheng Jingwei came out from below and walked up the earthen ladder, and at a glance, he saw Luo Shixing as if there was something chasing him behind him.

He quickly put down the bamboo shovel and patted the soil on his body, went to take the bucket in Luo Shixing's hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Shixing was so tired that he gasped for breath before saying, "I...I just met someone."

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei was slightly relieved, patted Luo Shixing's head and said, "It doesn't matter if you see people. Didn't you say you still want to contact people outside? Why are you afraid again? Did he bully you?"

Luo Shixing shook his head frantically: "No, it's just that that person is a little strange."

For some reason, when he heard Cheng Jingwei ask if someone was bullying him, he always felt that the other party's tone was not right, as if if he nodded, he would rush out and kill the other party in minutes.

If it was in the past, Luo Shixing might just think that Cheng Jingwei protected his weaknesses, but now he knows that Cheng Jingwei not only protects his weaknesses, but also has the ability to actually operate!

In fact, Cheng Jingwei didn't think too much about it. He didn't really kill people at every turn. If someone really bullied the lynx cat, he probably just decided how to deal with the other party according to the situation.

At most, it's just missing arms and legs, and it won't kill people easily!

Cheng Jingwei followed his words and asked, "Why is it so strange?"

Luo Shixing described it with gestures: "That person has long hair, no clothes on his body, and he walks on all fours. It looks so strange."

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei took it easy and said, "Have you met savages? Don't worry, they just look fierce, but in fact they may not be able to beat you."

Luo Shixing widened his eyes and asked, "Is there really a savage?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "I've heard of it before, but I haven't encountered it. Occasionally, I see people going into the mountains to hunt and bring back the corpses of savages."

Luo Shixing frowned: "Go into the mountains to hunt, and bring... bring back the corpse of the savage? Why did you bring back the corpse of the savage?"

"Manslaughter or intentional killing is possible, those savages..." Cheng Jingwei paused and said: "Most of the ancestors are refugees."

"Refugees?" Luo Shixing looked puzzled: "How can a good refugee become a savage?"

He knows the refugees, they can't live on, they can't pay their taxes, so they don't even have a registered permanent residence and hide in the mountains and old forests and don't communicate with the outside world.

It sounds like living in seclusion is very cool, but because they can't communicate with the outside world, they are afraid of being arrested and convicted, so these people have a hard time living.

He and Cheng Jingwei are already in a difficult situation, but they can communicate with the outside world. Many things are exchanged with the outside world. If they can't exchange anything... the two of them may not have such a good life.

Cheng Jingwei said: "Refugees are not so easy to be. You also found that there are many dangers in the mountains and forests. Those refugees don't live long, not only because of eating and drinking, but also because of encountering wild animals. Some people lost their parents when they were young. When you grow up in the mountains, you become a savage."

When Cheng Jingwei narrated these things, it was really an ordinary narration without any emotion.

On the contrary, Luo Shixing felt a little pity, and sighed: "A tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger."

Datang's current policy must not be regarded as tyranny, otherwise there would have been fires everywhere and people would have rebelled.

But the easing of the national policy of the Tang Dynasty can't change the harsh policies in some places, so grassroots officials are really important.

Cheng Jingwei couldn't help laughing after hearing his emotion: "You really worry about the world."

But I have to admit that what Luo Shixing said is correct. In fact, many officials in charge of government are very clear about this matter.

But there is no way, grassroots officials' income is not high, but those who are capable must be accompanied by promotions, if you don't give promotions to people who are so powerful, you have to pressure them to do things at the grassroots level, isn't that waiting for chaos in the world?

So after going back and forth, those officials who will remain at the grassroots level are not very capable, and may even be inferior to the keyboard warriors of later generations.

Even if this is the case, everyone can't help it. Who can they use?

Luo Shixing also knew that this matter had nothing to do with them, they were strictly counted as one of the refugees now.

"Hey, I just said it casually. The problem now is what should I do if I meet him again? He doesn't seem to be able to communicate."

Cheng Jingwei asked, "How old is he? I mean fat or thin."

Age is useless to savages, not to mention that savages basically can't judge age.

Luo Shixing thought about it seriously and said: "It doesn't seem very big. He can't tell if he doesn't stand up, but he should be about the same height as me. He's quite thin, and his ribs can be seen when he moves."

Cheng Jingwei said decisively: "Then next time you go out with a sickle, if you meet him again, drive him away."

Luo Shixing was startled: "What are you doing with the sickle? Even if you want to drive them away, you don't have to come up and use the knife, right? And don't you want to communicate?"

At any rate, there was a human being opposite, he felt that something was wrong, did Cheng Jingwei's revenge before made him change his mind?

Do people who have killed people despise human life even more?

Thinking of this, Luo Shixing's expression became a little more serious. Before, he felt that he needed to change Cheng Jingwei gradually and subtly, but now he felt that he might have to talk to the other party.

Cheng Jingwei said: "Savages are different from normal people. You also said that they may not be able to communicate. They can't speak, and they live in the mountains and forests all year round, competing with those wild beasts for food and prey. Don't treat them as human beings, but treat them as human beings. Just look at the beast."

Luo Shixing looked at Cheng Jingwei seriously and asked, "Ah Wei, do you know what is the biggest difference between humans and animals?"

Cheng Jingwei was dumbfounded by his question, wasn't he still discussing how to guard against savages just now?

Why are you talking about the difference between humans and animals now?

Cheng Jingwei has never been exposed to this topic before. It doesn’t mean that no one thinks about it now, but that most people don’t think about it. Only some thinkers and philosophers think about it.

Cheng Jingwei observed Luo Shixing's expression, and found that the little lynx looked very serious, and his eyes were different from usual.

He thought about it carefully and said hesitantly: "There are too many differences, why compare with animals?"

Luo Shixing said slowly, "Because human beings are also a kind of animal."

Cheng Jingwei suddenly laughed, rubbed the cat's head and said, "Although Mr. Luo gave you a small character to call you a lynx, you can't really think of yourself as a lynx, right?"

Why do you still think of yourself as an animal?

Luo Shixing thought about it for a while, and this statement was indeed not very good. If you want people to recognize that your own existence is no different from animals, you must agree with the concept of a global village. All animals and plants living on the earth are one body of the earth.

This explanation is too complicated, Luo Shixing had no choice but to put it another way: "Don't talk about that, the biggest difference between human beings and beasts is that human beings are bound by laws and morals, what do you think?"

Cheng Jingwei agrees with this point.

Luo Shixing saw him nodding and continued: "Under the constraints of law and morality, human beings will not kill each other like wild animals, so human beings can develop."

Cheng Jingwei understood Luo Shixing's meaning when he heard this: "You don't think you should hurt that savage? But what if he hurts you?"

Luo Shixing said: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. He didn't hurt me, so I shouldn't take the initiative to hurt him. What's more, even if it hurts, we have to divide it. Could it be that the other party just grabbed your hair, and you have to treat others?" Shouting to kill?"

Cheng Jingwei saw that he was silent, and Luo Shixing continued his efforts: "Although this place is exclusive and the laws are just for decoration, we also need to have a law in our hearts to restrain ourselves, otherwise what is the difference between us and savages?"

It wasn't until this time that Cheng Jingwei was sure that Luo Shixing wasn't really innocent of the previous incident.

He thought the other party was forgiving, but in fact the other party was forgiving and intending to guide him back to the right path.

If another person preached to him, Cheng Jingwei would definitely sneer.

But Luo Shixing's previous words "don't persuade others to be kind without suffering from others" have already shocked him, so he believes that the little lynx is really kind from the heart.

It's not that Cheng Jingwei disagrees with Luo Shixing's views. He admires people who can match their words and deeds, but he doesn't think he is wrong.

He thought for a while and asked, "Then do you know how to deal with savages found in the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

Luo Shixing was stunned for a moment, this...he really didn't know, he didn't even know anything written in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, how could he know this?

So he shook his head subconsciously: "How to deal with it?"

Cheng Jingwei remained expressionless: "All refugees and savages will be punished and executed as a warning to others."

Luo Shixing looked shocked: So... Cheng Jingwei showed mercy?
